Miley Cyrus is Number 1
Jul 31, 2008 Miley Cyrus, Music Chart, Record Sale
She better enjoy all the glory while she?s on top because her days as the new sensation are numbered. I doubt she?s going to have staying power but as of right now, Miley Cyrus has the #1 album in America. The Disney skank?s new record ?Breakout? sold 371,000 copies this past week which makes it the second biggest debut by a female artist this year. She only came in behind Mariah Carey?s first week sales of 463,000 for ?E=MC2? in April. Congratulations go out to Miley. I hope you don?t blow it all on a new camera to take even more skanky pictures of yourself.

Avril Lavigne Under the Knife
Jul 27, 2008 Avril Lavigne, New Records
Star magazine quotes an insider saying that Avril Lavigne is going to get some work done on her teeth. The insider says ?Avril hates her fangs. She is planning on having them filed down by a cosmetic dentist. It’s just something she has always been insecure about, especially since everyone is staring at her mouth when she sings. As soon as Avril finds some time to take off so it won’t interfere with her singing, she’s getting it done!? What are the fangs interfering with when she hardly sings anyway? If you?ve gone to see her live, it?s pretty obvious sometimes that she?s actually just lip synching. No one jumps around on stage that much and still sound like her record.

Russia Says No to Emo
Being an emo kid in Russia could be deemed illegal some time soon as the government is trying to pass laws that would heavily regulate emo websites and ban emo and goth dress style in schools and government buildings. The new laws are apparently being driven by fears that emo encourages depression and suicide. Of course, the emo kids of Russia aren?t keen on this. There were mass protests by Russian emo kids just last weekend. Dmitry Gilevich of Russian emo band MAIO said at a protest ?Expressing psychological emotions is not forbidden by law.? More and more countries are beginning to fight against emo ? England, Mexico and now Russia.

Mark your calendars, phone a friend, and/or tattoo it on some inconspicuous part of your face before Tokio Hotel melts it off: Tokio Hotel, live and in the flesh, will be on TRL all week beginning Monday, August 4th.
